Of course, the media is just calling it a “likely embarrassment” to Pakistan. From a tiny article on the incident from USAToday;
For months, Pakistani leaders have criticized the use of Predator-launched CIA missiles against Islamic extremists along the northwest border.
The California Democrat’s remarks came during a Congressional hearing in which she expressed surprise over Pakistani opposition to the use of the missiles.
“As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base,” she said.
Philip J. LaVelle, a spokesman for Feinstein, said her comment was based solely on previous news reports that Predators were operated from bases near Islamabad, the newspaper reports.
I’ll remind you what Dianne Feinstein said about leaking information in a previous incident;
Such intelligence, and the sources and methods necessary for its acquisition, are critical to our national security. The decision to invade Iraq illustrates the essential role of intelligence, and the deep consequences when it fails.
It is especially disturbing to learn that the intelligence was being leaked to influence public opinion. Intelligence material should be used to inform decisions, not to manipulate the American press.
Another douchebag lib working against America.
